As soon as I wake up I start my computer and I put the music on. Sometimes it is a music from my harddrive that I got from a friend when we exchange stuff like videos movies and music or from downloading and sometimes I go on youtube to listen to tracks that i don't have on my harddrive. After that I take a shower and a breakfast. Then I sign in facebook to check my messages and communicate with my family and friends. I often go shopping in the morning. Aroud midday I go to uni while listening to the radio. I sometimes have lunch at uni so I have a look at the uni bar's menu and the cafeteria's menu to make my choice. I attend lectures and tutorials where we follow the teacher's explanation on the screen. We often use computer, specific software and the internet during tutorials. At the end of the day I give a call to my girfriend and get home for dinner. I always turn the TV on while having dinner to be up to date on everyday news.
As soon as I wake up I am already using communication technology and using media as everyday typical schedule. Media are becoming part of our life that we don't even notice they are. as we said in the lectures media are invisible they overlap with the physical environment. Because of technology and media the way we live, even our language is changing. In fact the medium is changing the way the message is conveyed. Thinking about media in the way that it could damage our culture and society in an ethical perspective make me think that technology is taking over our culture and media shape the way we think and the way we behave as a whole. Nowadays even shaping the way the society is working. Are technologies and media shaping the way the society work or simply mrrors it? This is another point that we can think of and according to me Media and technologies shape and mirrors the society beliefs values and public opinion.
